The most recent episode of the new online multimedia post
“
Wednesday’s at One with Bonnie and Bill,” covered topics ranging from global
warming to Edgar Allen Poe. Hosted and produced by Bonnie Buckueroux
and Bill Castanier, t
he program is taped weekly at
Gone Wired Cafe on Lansing’s Eastside, but it’s available online anytime.
The show captures the broad and quirky interests of the two hosts.
Buckueroux recently retired from Michigan State University's (MSU) School of Journalism and now focuses on sustainable farming.
But one of her first interviews was with two members of the Church of
Latter Day Saints that she saw making calls on a local street.
Castanier left the Michigan Department of Economic Development (MEDC) five years ago, and has positioned himself as a literary journalist, offering daily posts and regular podcasts on his MittenLit.com blog.
In the latest show, Castanier interviews Gary Hoppenstand of MSU’s
Department of Writing, Rhetoric and Popular Culture about Poe’s impact
on the modern detective novel.
A section of
the show included The Clementine's, who anchor a discussion about the
challenge of finding fresh fruit here in winter.
Included in the site are Twitter updates on local news, archived program podcasts and blogs.
